Never mind the fact that Google doesn't clearly explain why this has been done and how to get around it for those who don't want to be restricted

Why did Google didn't add an option for opt out? I don't know, but what would that be relevant? if you want porn, you don't go to Google images, that's for sure.

Google is trying to play net nanny here

Some of these people will probably end up switching search engines as a result.

yeah, the ones looking for porn in google images for sure, how many of those freaks are out there? is a mistery.

Filtering, blocking, censoring... there's not much of a difference here in the end result. "Filtering" is just a method of excluding/blocking/censoring content.

Yes there is, but as the rest of the complainers, seems like you want everybody to see porn as something armless and part of our every day life, so you don't feel judged, and create all this whole argument about censorship just to mask the fact, that you don't want to be judged for the sick things you look at the internet.

No, my whole point from the beginning (which you still seem to fail, more likely refuse, to understand) is that everyone should be free to decide what they want based on what they believe. Don't want porn? Great, you're all set right from the start; it should be blocked by default, to avoid offending anyone who just does not want to see it under any circumstances for whatever reason. You know--people like you.

Don't want other people telling you what you should do? Once again, it should be a simple option that can easily be found on the settings page for those who want it. That would clearly be a choice for people to willingly make, not forcing anything onto anyone. You know... opt-in. Don't want it? Don't check that box. No harm done.

If anything, this would give the anti-porn people the advantage by blocking it by default just like it always has, so seriously, explain how the fuck this would be "forcing" any views onto anyone?

And speak for yourself--not all porn is "sick things." There you go again, purposely using terms like "sick things" to describe everything down to an uncovered female nipple. You want to see some "real" sick things? Try goatse or some other shock site. Try some of the truly disturbing, highly-niche crap that probably no one in their right mind would want to see.

By the way, I said it before, Google is the last place I would ever go to actually seek any kind of porn from, but I have always kept the image filters off. Why? Because not only am I mature enough to handle a few tits if they do show up, I don't want my results censored or skewed by any group of people over any belief that I do not share.
